Getting Started This chapter provides basic initialization instructions for Skype for Business devices.
Initialization Process Overview Verifying Startup Skype for Business Feature License
Initialization Process Overview The initialization process of the device is responsible for network connectivity and operation of the device in your local network. Once you connect your device to the network and to an electrical supply, the device begins its initialization process.
Loading the ROM File Configuring the VLAN
| Getting Started | 10
Querying the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server Contacting the Provisioning Server Updating Firmware Downloading the Resource Files
Loading the ROM File The ROM file resides in the flash memory of the device. The device comes from the factory with a ROM file preloaded. During initialization, the device runs a bootstrap loader that loads and executes the ROM file.
Configuring the VLAN If you connect the device to a switch, the switch notifies the device of the VLAN information defined on the switch (if using LLDP or CDP). The device can then proceed with the DHCP request for its network settings (if using DHCP).
Querying the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server The device is capable of querying a DHCP server.
After network connectivity is established, the device can obtain the following network parameters from the DHCP server during initialization:
IP Address Subnet Mask Gateway Primary DNS Secondary DNS
By default, the devices obtain these parameters from a DHCPv4. You can configure network parameters of the device manually if any of them are not supplied by the DHCP server.
Contacting the Provisioning Server If you configure the device to obtain configurations from the provisioning server, it will be connected to the provisioning server, and then download the configuration file(s) during startup. The device will be able to resolve and update configurations written in the configuration file(s). If the device does not obtain configurations from the provisioning server, the device will use the configurations stored in the flash memory.
Updating Firmware If you define the access URL of firmware in the configuration file, the device will download firmware from the provisioning server. If the MD5 value of the downloaded firmware file differs from the one stored in the flash memory, the device will perform a firmware update.
You can manually upgrade the firmware if the device does not download firmware from the provisioning server.
Downloading the Resource Files In addition to the configuration file(s), the device may require resource files before it provides service. These resource files are optional, but if you deploy some particular features, these files are required.
| Getting Started | 11
Verifying Startup After connected to the power and network, the devices begin the initialization process:
1. The power LED indicators of MP56/T58A/T56A/T55A/T48S/T46S/T42S/T41S glow red.
The mute touch key LED indicators of CP960 glow red. 2. The message Initializing Please wait (or Initializing) appears on the LCD screen when the
devices start up. 3. The phones enter the login screen.
